Extra-Renal Cardiac Injury Is Associated with Upregulation of NOD2 and Nlrp3 in the Heart After Renal IRI.
A. Scheinok, S. Kasimsetty, E. Soo, C. Nelson, A. Shigeoka, D. McKay.
Medicine, Division of Nephrology and Hypertension, University of California San Diego, La Jolla, CA
Background: Recent studies show renal ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) is associated with systemic release of danger associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). DMAPs induce significant extra-renal organ…

Beneficial Effects of Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) on Renal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury (IRI) in CLAWN Miniature Swine.
Y. Ariyoshi, M. Sekijima, H. Sahara, T. Murokawa, A. Shimizu, K. Yamada.
Center for Advanced Biomedical Science and Swine Research, Kagoshima University, Kagoshima, Japan
Objective: The prevention of IRI is important for both early and long-term graft function, especially when using extended-criteria or donation after cardiac donors. H2S has…

Dendritic Cell Expression of Rictor (mTORC2), but Not Raptor (mTORC1), Protects Against Renal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury.
H. Dai,^1,3 N. Rogers,^1,2 A. Watson,¹ D. Fantus,¹ A. Thomson.¹
¹Starzl Transplantation Institute, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA; ²Westmead Institute for Medical Research, Sydney, Australia; ³Urologic Organ Transplantation Department, the Second Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha, China
Background: Dendritic cells (DC) are critical initiators of innate immunity in the kidney and orchestrate inflammation subsequent to ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). The mechanistic target of…

ERK and HIF1 Play a Major Role in Hypothermic Protection Against Renal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury.
K. Lee,¹ J. Jeong,² D. Choi,¹ K. Na,¹ H. Bae,¹ Y. Ham.¹
¹Chungnam National University, Nephrology, Daejeon, Korea; ²Chungnam National University, Department of Medical Science, Daejeon, Korea
Purpose: Hypothermia attenuates the renal injury induced by ischemia-reperfusion. However, the detailed molecular pathway remains unknown. ERK and HIF1 are known to protect against ischemia-reperfusion…
